    I am moving to the Florida area and heard there were some companies that lease O/O's to pull doubles on the turnpike. Anyone know who they are? I have tried looking online and can't find anything that might help me.

    Ive seen Pepsi, JB Hunt and the LTL Freight companies hauling double 48s on the turnpike. Yellow/Roadway and Southeastern Freight I think. JB was that last mile service.. Oh and UPS too

    I've never seen a leased o/o pulling them personally and I run the pike quite a bit.

    Maybe a FedEx contractor, but you'd have to be way up on the bid board to get something like that, and if your not a team running 48, you're not leasing on in FL to get the points or whatever they call them to do it.

    Hostess used to have contractors pulling turnpike doubles, but of course they are gone. There is a water company, but I hardly ever see contractors pulling them. I think that all the companies pulling them werte mentioned.

    Just wondering, why would you want too? I have always wanted to try a B-Double, just never had the chabce. Pulled triple pups several years back, I dont think I will do that again.

    Well, Good luck and safe miles.
